The more the fruits of knowledge become accessible to men, the more widespread is the decline of religious belief.

I agree with what he said ,but not with what he meant to say.
Freud equated belief in God with religion. The more I learn about God the less truth I see in religion.
This is the opposite of what Freud was saying. He meant the more one learns about science the less one believes in God.
This was his narrow minded little assumption. I do not find it true at all. The more I learn about science, the more I understand about God. You can appreciate a toy without realizing that someone figured out how it could work and then made it all work. Still you can use it and marvel about the mind that conceived it.

yes, because we have no need to create mythology to explain things when we have scientific proof of what they actually are.
